ELLYSSA:
Good morning & welcome to our culinary club. You say you are looking forward to being a member so that you can learn from us.
I believe after seeing your crafty baking talents we will be learning from you.
Good luck to you & have a nice day.

I’m new here. I’ve been making cakes for my children and loved ones for years, but am starting to get the itch to do it for profit. I also love to bake cookies and pies.

I have three children, one of whom doesn’t like chocolate - I’m not sure where he came from!! The rest of us are certified chocoholics. We all crave sweets, so I usually have a happy audience for recipe research and development.

I’m taking Wilton’s Course 1 on cake decorating to learn how to pipe more professionally. So far, it’s been very fun! I roped two friends into going with me, so we’re learning and laughing together.

I look forward to seeing what all of you are creating and to learning a lot of new tricks and tips!

Hello Anne, I hope you enjoy coming on to this forum, you’ll get lots of help here if you need it and interest in what you are baking! I have just had a peep at your blog and enjoyed reading it. I am in the UK and I have lots of tips from members here on using Rose’s books and recipes.

Hi, I’m a newby! I found this forum in search of an answer to a baking question. Here’s my question, hoping someone has a suggestion…
I make a beautiful loaf of bread. That said, when I make a cinnamon swirl loaf (dough rolled out, smeared with butter, sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar) I roll the dough up tightly, no air bubbles and bake as normal. It raises beautifully. When I cut into it, after cooling, there are air pockets between the upper layers. Any ideas??? Thanks, Momof10

Fascinates me sometimes too!! I think - how did I get here?! I know I’m not the only one with a large family, it only seems that way. But you know… we all have 24 hours in a day, the only difference is in how we choose to spend it. For me its always been about family. Hope you enjoy the rest of your 24!! Momof10

Yep, we only have 24 of them each day! I actually have quite a few friends who have a lot of kids… 8, 9, even 13! I just love learning all about their day to day household activities - fun to watch for this mom of 4. Looking forward to your posts! Take care, Patricia

Congrats on your 4! I don’t think I spend any more time at mothering than you, I just do things in bulk! Thank goodness we’re out of the diaper stage. Unfortunately, we’re on to the dating and marrying stage… what I wouldn’t give for a poopy diaper. (Come to think of it, I do get those occasionally from our 2, soon to be 3, grandkids. It truely is the best of both worlds!)
Thanks for making me feel welcome, this is a great site. Momof10

Oh yes, I remember how nice it was to finally be out of the diaper stage! Now child #1 is talking marriage - yikes.
